There’s been lots of questions this week asking about when our plant sale will be, unfortunately I don’t have a definitive answer for you.

We have had not one but two awful batches of seed mix which has put our seed germination and growing times all out of kilter.

It’s been incredibly frustrating and a bit heartbreaking throwing out trays and trays of seedlings that just were not doing well enough to share with you.

If anyone knows of a good reliable source of seed raising mix please DM I’d be so grateful.
It seems getting soil recipes right can be trickier than you think.

All is not lost as there is some lovely plants here ready but also some that just need a little bit more time.

So long story short I’m thinking it’s more likely the sale will be late October earlier November which will give me a little bit more time to regroup.

I know you are itching to get some plants and I assure you we will have a lovely sale, it’s just going to be a little different to how I imagined it.

P.S Would you be interested in a little bric brac sale?
Thought I might share some of my vases and bits and bobs ?

Just a quick post to let you know I’m having a Pop up plant sale here on Friday and Saturday this week.

I’ve been collecting and growing some gorgeous Sweet peas and also have a lovely selection of Italian and French ranunculus that will be available as well as
some perennial and annual plants

The gate will open from 10-1pm .

Parking will be on the roadside and also in the orchard across the road from us… will put signs up!

I’ll pop my address and further updates on a story Thursday evening.

It’s a little wet from the rain so sensible shoes would be sensible 😀.

Looking forward to seeing you.🌱

This year we are planning some workshops, and I’m so excited to let you know that for our first event we have Tanya Doty coming to demonstrate and teach how to make willow garden obelisks and plant supports.

Each workshop will be hands on and you will get to learn and make to either a gorgeous Obelisk or a plant support like you see in all the lovely English gardens and magazines.

I’ve always admired Tanya’s talent as a weaver and was fortunate to take part in a basket making course she held a few years ago.
It was such a great workshop and you’ll be pleased to know she is also holding a vintage basket making course while she is here Hawkes Bay.

Ive posted a link above in my profile which has all the workshop details.

Workshops have limited no’s to keep it enjoyable so please don’t hesitate to make contact if you are interested

We will be doing some seed sowing workshops and other collaborations this year.
If you have something you would like to learn or have any questions please DM

Hope you can make it Xx

We are packing down the Nursery today and it’s feeling a bit like the day after a party.

It’s been a wonderful month of having visitors and honestly we have be blown away by the support from everyone.

We have worked so hard to create a beautiful garden and now Nursery, to have had such wonderful feedback from you all about our property and plants has just been the encouragement we needed… thank you so very much!

Hearing that we have inspired others ( which is wonderful and also a bit overwhelming in a good way) to start or get back into their gardens has been so rewarding! We’ve loved the garden chats with you.

It’s been a steep learning curve and already we are working on new ideas and contemplating what things worked well and what we can improve on for next season.

It was such fun using my collections of old vintage finds to create displays and it’s a bit sad packing that all away today.
But it’s time to focus on the cutting gardens now and try and catch up on what I need to get in the ground if I’m to have flowers for summer.

We will be slowing down a little bit and looking forward to a bit of a break.
So the Nursery is now closed till Autumn but I will post occasionally when we have some plants to share and you can Dm if you are needing a few plants for the garden or gifts.

Still pinching myself that so many of our plants have found new homes in your gardens.

Thank you again for your support and visiting.

Had great plans of doing a post earlier today but time has got away on me.

It’s been a busy day getting ready for another Plant sale tomorrow.

We have restocked and also bought out some new plants this week.

It’s been our plan to grow and have enough plants to open our little Nursery up for a few weekends in October / November

It’s certainly been a big learning curve for us. What to grow and how much, but I think we’ve done okay

It was such a great turnout last week and a very big heartfelt thank you to everyone who came.

We are opening up the Nursery again tomorrow,
FRIDAY 10-1pm,
310 Lawn Rd
Payment is either cash or Bank transfer

Our neighbour has kindly offered us the use of his Orchard to park in tomorrow ( It’s just across the Road ) there will be signs out!
Please be mindful it’s a busy Road.

We have crates for you to shop with but might pay to bring something to put in your boot to take plants home.

Think that’s all… sorry I’m a bit tired tonight!

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow

There’s been plenty of sparks flying in the garage this weekend, my super clever Husband has been making our green house bench’s.
I was going to wait and take a pick of the greenhouse all set up but I’m so happy with how they look that I wanted to show you!
Hoping he might let me have a try at welding the next one!

It’s a beautiful Autumn day here in the gardens, perfect for starting the clear out of all the Summer Annuals that have gone to seed or are past their best.

It’s a busy time of year for us and also the time everything feels like it’s in a mess, but it’s also the beginning of thinking of Spring and all the things I’d like to grow!

The final push to get most of the house painted before the weather cools has understandably left us feeling a bit tired these last few weeks.

But no rest planned just yet as some steel is hopefully arriving this week and we can make a start on our greenhouse tables.

Have to be honest that we ( well me really) has been deliberating wether to make wooden of metal benches, weighing up costs of materials etc and as we have all the gear to make metal ones we have opted to make some long lasting tables that I can use inside or outside and I’m going to be able to paint them a cool colour which if I’m honest played a big part in my decision making!

Autumn is well and truly here now, the trees are turning colour and the flowers are slowing down.
It’s the time of year where I find random seeds that have been collected and stuffed in the pockets of my apron and coats and even my dressing gown!
Trying to be better this year and get the collected seeds into proper paper bags with labels so I know what they are when it comes time to resow them in the Spring!

It’s been a very busy season, lots of projects completed and new ones in the pipeline… but I can reassure you there will be no more pictures of digging drains and carting soil and shingle.
We have thankfully completed those big jobs and can now think about getting ready for the next growing season.

Feeling quite excited thinking about Spring and all the things I want to grow!

It’s been one year since cyclone Gabrielle hit our region and our home.
The sun is shining beautifully today and it’s a little surreal to think this time last year we were in a state of emergency and under water.
I’m some ways it feels like it was a long time ago and in others just yesterday.

The images on social media and television still make me well up with tears and the sound of rain no longer brings comfort.

I feel deeply connected to the soil and land in a way that I find hard to explain in words, a connection formed from working, growing, nurturing the environment around us.
There is a deep seated sadness for the damage to our land that still stays with me.

Over the last year we have worked hard and achieved so much, raised the land, completed the big irrigation projects, built a greenhouse, hosted our first seed sowing workshop with .journal had our first plant sale and then to top it of had the pleasure of hosting the team from when they came to Hawkes bay to do Jacindas wedding!

Feeling very grateful and proud that we have come through a very trying year but I just have to say if it wasn’t for the support of very kind and dear friends then I think we wouldn’t have feared so well!
Forever grateful for sarah and Aila and Astrud who came at just the right time to help!

Thank you so much to the community of people who have supported and helped us this year, it truly has been so so appreciated!
